Adobe Offers Retina-Enabled Release Candidate for Lightroom

We're still waiting for that Retina Display-enabled Adobe Photoshop update, but the company is inching a bit closer with the availability of a release candidate for Adobe Lightroom that adds this coveted feature.

The big news with Adobe Lightroom 4.3 RC is that the app now supports HiDPI displays, which can be activated from within the Develop Module. "HiDPI" is better known in Apple-speak as Retina Display, meaning this RC version of Lightroom should look pretty fantastic on a new 13 or 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

Version 4.3 also squashes a number of bugs related to panoramas in Adobe Revel, book page layouts, applying flags, using multiple fonts within the same text cell and updating catalogs in Photoshop Elements 11.

Last but not least, the Lightroom 4.3 Release Candidate adds a lengthy list of new camera support, with models from Canon, Casio, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic and Pentax detailed.

To install Lightroom 4.3 RC, head to the Adobe Labs website -- and be sure to share any feedback with the Adobe team to help move this release candidate along to a final version.
